The above bit of military wisdom that I quoted in a recent essay, ‘use it or lose it,’ has been amply justified by the latest exchange of strikes between Israel and Iran.

Avec une taxe de 2 % par an, il faudrait un siècle pour les faire revenir à leur niveau de 2010, à supposer qu’elles ne gagnent aucun revenu dans l’intervalle.
D’après le magazine Challenges, qui n’est pas un repaire de gauchistes, les 500 plus grandes fortunes sont passées de 200 milliards d’euros à 1 200 milliards entre 2010 et 2025, soit une progression de 500 %. Avec une taxe de 2 % par an, il faudrait un siècle pour les faire revenir à leur niveau de 2010, à supposer qu’elles ne gagnent aucun revenu dans l’intervalle. Ce qui n’a pas beaucoup de sens vu qu’elles se sont enrichies de 7 % à 8 % par an au cours des quinze dernières années.
En s’opposant à l’impôt plancher de 2 % sur le patrimoine des 1 800 Français détenant plus de 100 millions d’euros adopté par l’Assemblée nationale, le Sénat vient de montrer à quel point il était déconnecté des enjeux de notre époque.
Même si le Sénat s’est prononcé contre la taxe de 2 % sur les patrimoines de plus de 100 millions d’euros, l’ampleur de la dette française et les besoins de financements liés aux défis sociaux et climatiques imposeront très vite des mesures de redist…
Microsoft surprised many of its fans with a peek at the future of Xbox. Instead of announcing the new Xbox console, they revealed two powerful Xbox Ally
Valve isn't making their next Steam Deck anytime soon because the technology doesn't exist yet. You can crank up the wattage and put in a bigger battery, but those things make the handheld larger, heavier, and hotter, so they're not interested. This is a bottleneck from AMD and their R&D.
But especially due to live service anti cheat and Game Pass, I agree that there's a potential market for this strategy. There's certainly no way they compete with Sony by doing what consoles have always done.
"...we aren't thinking about new hardware until next year at least" doesn't mean that they aren't working on it now. And they seem to have low confidence that said new hardware will even make it out next year. Yes, we are likely years out from a new Steam Deck, and you shouldn't plan on one being imminent. That's not the same thing as them no longer working on it.
Yes, I did. I also didn't read between the lines and take that to mean that they're not working on it, investing in it, etc. It just means that we can't predict the future, and what makes sense now might not make sense in a few years when the technology does exist. The Outlook section was the author's conjecture of what could come to pass, but he can't predict the future either.
That was seven months ago, and it's very clear. Successful gaming hardware usually starts prototyping the next one very quickly, even if it's years away. If they didn't, then they'd always lag far behind the latest technology. Valve don't know the year. With tariffs alone, trying to set a release date for a new piece of hardware could be a nightmare.
Not one of my responses was intended to be hostile or patronizing, but tone can be hard to convey via text. I'm sorry if you took it that way. I was merely pointing out that you arrived at a conclusion that they didn't state definitively in the article we both read.
Okay? That wasn't the central point of their message. It seems somewhat disrespectful to respond that way, ignoring everything else they said. They have a valid point.
I’m sorry as well. It’s just I’ve been treated poorly for having a Deck as it is. I was just recently gifted a PS5 and Series S after having One S for god knows how long now. So, yeah, forgive me for snapping, but I have no interest or motivation to upgrade. I just want to have fun.

Pro-Palestinian activists seeking to march to Gaza with the stated aim of breaking Israel's blockade on the territory were stopped Friday in both Libya and Egypt, organisers said.
Egypt bows to Israeli demands to stop the March to Gaza ‘Al-Samoud’ convoy
An official Egyptian government statement was issued following an announcement by Israeli DM Israel Katz, that called on Egypt to block thousands of North Africans from travelling to Rafah. - MPN
Cairo says that anyone seeking to go to Rafah must receive government permission first, despite the fact that the March to Gaza has been well planned in advance and the Egyptian regime has full knowledge of it.
Yet again the Egyptian military dictatorship takes its orders from Tel Aviv. - MPN
The Egyptian regime is mass arresting and deporting foreign nationals who arriving in the hundreds to participate in a planned march to Rafah in order to break the siege on Gaza. Egypt has even set its media and social media bots to claim that the March to Gaza is a “Zionist” conspiracy to drag the country into a war. In reality, Egypt was given orders from Israel to stop the peaceful protest and instantly complied.
Issam Al-Jashi, one of the activists of the Resilience Convoy, told Quds Network:
Egyptian security arrested us and deported us immediately upon our arrival at Cairo Airport.
We were beaten and insulted by the security forces.
A very limited number of activists were able to enter Egypt, while the remaining activists coming from Europe were deported to Sabiha Gokcen Airport in Turkey.
Egyptian security forces reportedly assaulted Turkish MP Faruk Dinc during a crackdown on pro-Palestinian activists participating in the Global March to Gaza on Friday.
Dinc, who joined the march in an attempt to break Israel’s siege on Gaza and deliver aid, sustained head injuries after being struck by an object.
Mon ami Sami a été arrêté par l'armée israélienne ce matin. Journaliste indépendant, notamment pour Al-Jazeera, +972 Mag et à de nombreuses reprises interviewé par le New York Times, il suivait ces dernières semaines la destruction du village de Khallet al-Dabaa en Cisjordanie occupée.
"Easy Lover" by Phil Collins is a captivating blend of pop and rock, showcasing the artist's signature sound. The collaboration with Nathan East and Philip Bailey brings a dynamic energy to the track, making it a timeless classic that resonates with listeners.
Lyrics: Easy lover She'll get a hold on you, believe it Like no other Before you know it you'll be on your knees She's an easy lover She'll take your heart but you won't feel it She's like no other And I'm just trying to make you see
She's the kind of girl you dream of Dream of keeping hold of You'd better forget it You'll never get it She will play around and leave you Leave you and deceive you Better forget it Oh, you'll regret it
No, you'll never change her, so leave it, leave it Get out quick, 'cause seeing is believing It's the only way You'll ever know
She's an easy lover She'll get a hold on you believe it Like no other Before you know it you'll be on your knees She's an easy lover She'll take your heart but you won't feel it She's like no other And I'm just trying to make you see
You're the one that wants to hold her Hold her and control her You'd better forget it You'll never get it For she'll say that there's no other 'Til she finds another Better forget it Oh, you'll regret it
And don't try to change her, just leave it, leave it You're not the only one, ooh seeing is believing It's the only way You'll ever know
Now don't try to change her, just leave it, leave it You're not the only one, 'cause seeing is believing It's the only way You'll ever know
She's an easy lover (she's a easy lover) She'll get a hold on you, believe it (get a hold on you) She's like no other Before you know it you'll be on your knees (you'll be down on your knees) She's an easy lover She'll take your heart but you won't feel it (you won't feel it) She's like no other And I'm just trying to make you see (trying to make you see)
She's an easy lover She'll get a hold on you, believe it (get a hold on you) And like no other Before you know it you'll be on your knees (you'll be down on your knees, yeah, yeah, yeah) She's an easy lover She'll take your heart but you won't feel it (you won't feel it) She's like no other And I'm just trying to make you see (trying to make you see)
She's an easy lover She'll get a hold on you, believe it She's like no other

"Easy Lover" by Miley Cyrus is an engaging track that explores themes of love and attraction with a catchy melody and vibrant production. The song showcases Miley's vocal prowess and artistic evolution, making it a notable addition to her upcoming album "Something Beautiful." Its relatable lyrics and infectious rhythm are sure to resonate with fans.
Lyrics: You’re my baby You’re the only one You drive me crazy But I still miss you when you’re gone Every second, every hour
It’s in your nature To light me up I love to hate ya But I can’t stand it when you’re gone So I call you once every hour
You got the love I always needed Tie me to horses and I still wouldn’t leave ya But you’re not an easy lover
You’re a wildfire And I’m in your path I’ve decided I wanna keep on dancing in the ashes And so I call out Let it burn
You got the love I always needed Tie me to horses and I still wouldn’t leave ya But you’re not an easy lover
No I just can’t give you up No I just can’t give you up No I just can’t give you up No I just can’t give you up But you’re not an easy lover
You got the love I always needed Tie me to horses I still wouldn’t leave ya
Tell ’em, B But you’re not an easy lover
You make it hard to touch another Anything goes when we’re under covers But you’re not an easy lover
No I just can’t give you up No I just can’t give you up No I just can’t give you up No I just can’t give you up But you’re not an easy lover No I just can’t give you up No I just can’t give you up No I just can’t give you up No I just can’t give you up But you’re not an easy lover

Category "how the hell isn't this included by default" : - Copy Plain Text: Adds an option in the right click menu to copy the selected text as plain text, without formatting - Copy Link Text : Adds an option in the right click menu to copy the text of a link - Markdown Reader: Show formatted markdown. I tried several extensions for this and this is the one I prefer personally. It has an index panel on the left which is sooo useful.
Category "Preserving your mental health online" : - uBlock Origin: You really need to block those ads - Consent-O-Matic: Never see a cookie pop-up again in your life (it auto accepts or refuse in your place). - SponsorBlock: Skips Youtube sponsorships. You can define which ones you want to skip and which you want to watch (paid ads, self promo, etc) - Return Youtube Dislike: Show the number of dislikes on videos. It's not a real number, it's extrapolated based on how many people with the app have clicked dislike. - Youtube No Translate: Keeps titles, descriptions and audio tracks in their original language
Category "Usefull" : - KeePassXC-Browser: To access your password database from your browser - Whatever fingerprinting protection you can find (Canvas, Fonts, WebGL, etc.. half those I used have been pulled, haven't found a replacement for all of them)
Category "Would be nice if..." : - A user agent switcher... if you want all websites to block you 😑 - NoScript: Block javascript and create custom rules to allow it only when and where you want. Or the reverse. It was great a few years ago but I've stopped using it because websites require allowing more and more otherwise nothing works and it's hell can we cancel javascript please? - Dark Reader: Dark mode for all websites. Can make some websites unreadable, but you can turn it off for that website. Makes everything much slower though so I don't use it.
I had no idea about the second one! I still like having a context menu option, right click + E seems much less of a hassle than selecting the text and copying, but it's nice to know you can select part of a link! How did I never notice that you could in 20 years? 😅
Pro-tip: you may not need Consent-O-Matic. There are uBlock Origin cookie banner filters that you can enable (even though they break some websites, even if it's rare)
I think Youtube Anti Translate only works on video titles and descriptions? There's Youtube No Translate which does the same and also keeps the audio track in the original language so you don't get a shitty AI dub
hopefully today i can finish my welding, then later the new transmission axle seals should be arriving for the RSX. slight leakage of tranny fluid at the axle shaft seals
once again i will be pulling out an axle because i discovered a pinhole in one of the axle boots, flinging off a tiny bit of grease. how annoying. i had this old OEM CV axle that looked good but obviously i changed it for a reason. this is why you should document everything you do to your vehicle so you can look up this info and say aha there's a reason you did this thing before, and not waste time
why does booking.com not offer an iCal or something I can import into my calendar? I don't want to do it by hand each time. maybe I need to use local LLM to create the entry.

Imagine if it hadn't been one. Let's not forget the glorious 50s and the anti-communist witch-hunt or the burning of libertarian schools, or the mass executions of striking workers and protesters ... not to mention unpunished executions of elected officials
The government no longer exists to serve us. Too many greedy shitbags have had their elections bought so they could use their power against the working class.
We no longer need to respect the rule of law. We no longer need to worry about the future of the nation.
Focus on yourself. Focus on those close to you. Stop contributing to the economy as much as you can while still taking everything you can from it.
Vandalism is a great way to fight back with minimal risk to yourselves. It doesn't require organization and can happen spontaneously when the opportunities arise.
The Russian Foreign Ministry issued a particularly tough statement, today, condemning Israel’s attacks on Iran. “We express our profound concern regarding the dangerous escalation of tensions in the Middle East,” it said at the outset.
Ah yes, Kool-Aid Man. On the intro screen, he bursts through a brick wall—and if you're going to make a game about Kool-Aid Man, that's mandatory.
If Kool-Aid Man doesn't crash through something at the start, is it even a Kool-Aid Man game? (No. It’s not.)
Now the goal here is simple: protect the precious Kool-Aid from what I can only describe as sentient bombs with straws. They’re called Thirsties, which sounds like the name of a failed emo band, but whatever. These little creeps try to slurp up all your Kool-Aid—which is weird, because I thought drinking the Kool-Aid was the entire point of Kool-Aid.
Anyway, you’ve got to wait until they actually start drinking before you slam into them. Do it too early and nothing happens. Wait too long and they tap you first, sending you careening across the screen like a sentient bowling ball. Bonus tip: don’t touch the walls either, because apparently the Kool-Aid Man is so full of juice that the slightest touch make him bounce.
People like to blame games like this for the Great Video Game Crash. But I say no way. This game has charm. It's got bounce (literally). It's got bright colors. It’s got Kool-Aid Man yelling "OH YEAH!" like he just snorted a line of Pixy Stix. Okay, he doesn't literally do this, but in my head canon, he does.
Sure, this is advertising. But so was Cool Spot for the SEGA Genesis, and most people agree that game was pretty darn good too. So cut Kool-Aid Man some slack. He may be a glass-bodied corporate shill, but by god, he’s our glass-bodied corporate shill.
Oddly, this was made by Mattel Electronics for their M Network imprint, which they used for systems that weren't published for Intellivision. In this case, Kool-Aid Man was an Atari 2600. And I don't understand why this game wasn't available for Mattel's own console. Was Kool-Aid Man too cool for those dweebs who played Intellivision?
We may never know. But one thing’s for sure: Kool-Aid Man definitely belonged on the Atari.

June 14, 2025 @ 07:41 Good morning, family & friends❣️ I've been up for a couple of hours this morning, I got quite a bit of sleep yesterday, and fell asleep at a decent hour last night (plus my ribs hurt more when I'm laying down) and I really wanted coffee!
It is sunny and gorgeous outside, going to be a mild 70°F today, and I am planning to get outside and do some gardening if my dirt is ready! Bill made up a very rich soil using a combination of goodies so if it isn't hot he said I can start planting. My baby plants need to be replanted, I have them in the house now since they have no protection from the elements. If I'm able to get that done I will take photos or video or something. But either way I want to be outside today. Other than that, I don't know, but I'm ready to get out and do something so I will see you later...have a great day❣️✝️🎹🐕🦺🦜🙌🍅🥩🌿🤕🚌❤️

China says two sides should properly handle disputes and differences, and jointly play a constructive role in maintaining international and regional peace and stability.
Why software do you use in your day-to-day computing which might not be well-known?
For me, there are ~~two~~ three things for personal information management:
for shopping receipts, notes and such, I write them down using vim on a small Gemini PDA with a keyboard. I transfer them via scp to a Raspberry Pi home server on from there to my main PC. Because it runs on SailFish OS, it also runs calendar (via CalDav) and mail nicely - and without any FAANG server.
for things like manuals and stuff that is needed every few months ("what was just the number of our gas meter?" "what is the process to clean the dishwasher?") , I have a Gollum Wikirunning on Laptop and home server. This is a very simple web wiki which supports several markup languages (like Markdown, MediaWiki, reStructuredText, and Creole), and stores them via git. For me, it is perfect to organize personal information around the home.
for work, I use Zim wiki. It is very nice for collecting and organizing snippets of information.
oh, and I love Inkscape(a powerful vector drawing program), Xournal (a program you can write with a tablet on and annotate PDFs), and Shotwell (a simple photo manager). The great thing about Shotwell is that it supports nicely to filter your photos by quality - and doing that persistently makes you a better photographer.
xpipe – I use it to SSH into any of my servers, cluster nodes or directly into docker containers without having to remember hostnames, IPs, users. It can also bring your useful scripts to said ssh session without "installing" them on the target device, which is great because you don't have to set it up for every new server. Also the dev is a really nice guy.
Portmaster + SPN – I use it to route each app through different VPN paths with multihop support and per app firewall rules. (e.g. one app via Denmark, another via a random country, third app no VPN, fourth app gets no internet at all etc.) It really gives you full control over the traffic. afaik there is no other all in one app like this.
wdfs - It's an old project that is patched by this random github user. It's the only way I found to mount a webDAV storage cleanly into a directory from a bash script without fucking with my fstab or being root or giving specific privileges to my user. I mount it from a bash script because that way I can use KDE wallet to store the credentials instead of having a plain file somewhere on my fs, the script waits until the wallet is unlocked, then reads the credentials from it and mounts the webDAV to a path in my home. That is more accessible to apps (e.g. recent files) instead of doing it via Dolphin, which generates a random string in the path when mounting network storage.
a webdav filesystem that makes it possible to mount a webdav share under linux, freebsd and apple mac os x. (unofficial repo with some personal fixes) - c---/wdfs
Herbstluftwm, the window manager. I used i3 for a decade, then bspwm for a few months, then landed on hlwm which I've been happily using for over a year. I don't foresee changing until I'm forced to switch to Wayland. I've used almost every window manager and DE available for Linux and Solaris. Hlwm has things I can no longer live without:
It's entirely configuration-file-less, which means the CLI client is the first class citizen for C&C.
It's tiled and keyboard controllable is, again, a first-class citizen
It has a sane tree model, with no weird exceptions
It's stable
It's fast and small. You never see it in top, sorting either by CPU or memory
Zsh, the shell, in which I run 90% of my applications (the regular exceptions being the Luakit browser and Factorio, the game. everything else is CLI or a TUI). Zsh is bash backwards compatible, and it has a bunch of extra convenience syntax that makes scripting more powerful, pushing out the border where switching to a real programming language is necessary. I have lived in sh, bash, and csh over my life, and I've tried fish and a number of others; the rich data model for process communication is compelling, but I've always discovered it lacking, so on zsh I remain.
Tmux, the terminal multiplexer, which is (almost) invariably the first child of every terminal (rio -e 'tmux attach -t#'). Because terminals crash, because it survives session restarts, because it lets me log in remotely and continue what I started in my desktop, and because it works over ssh and having a consistent multiplexer environment across machines is nice. I used session for years before discovering tmux, and have tried almost every other terminal multiplexer; and none add any significant value for me over tmux.
Helix, the editor in which I spend most of my time. Because I started with emacs and used it for years before switching to vim. Then I used vim for decades before switching to Kakoune. Then I used Kakoune for about 2 years before switching to helix. Kakoune was too much like Emacs for my taste: heavy on chording, light on modality. Helix is much more like vim: lighter on chording, more mode-driven. Chording aggravates my carpel tunnel, and I'm more comfortable in modal editors. I switched from vim because the plugins necessary to be a competent development environment got insane, and my vim was starting to take as long to start up as emacs, which was unacceptable. Also, LSP integration was super flaky and broke every six months; it's what initially drove me to Kakoune.
I'm currently using Rio as my terminal. It has bugs, but it's actively developed and regularly releases will fix one more thing. It has both ligature and sixel support, and it's wildly fast and far, far less memory intensive than either kitty or ghostty, which are both pretty fat. I am not including it in "the list" because some remaining bugs are pretty big, like randomly crashing when it gets resized or sees some sequence of asci escape codes. It's not much of an issue because I run everything in tmux, and it crashes less with every release, but I hesitate to recommend it until it's more stable.
+1 for helix. I was new to linux and TUI editors. The vim tutor was a good intro to the concept of modal editors, but needed lsp and syntax highlighting. At the time I struggled a lot with configs, so neovim was out. Helix is just a fantastic, batteries included experience. Approachable for beginners, but feature rich for novices.
GNU parallel, to run commands on all cores, and for its filename pattern substitution.
For example: ls *.flac | parallel ffmpeg -i {} {.}.mp3 encodes a directory of FLAC files to MP3. parallel -a <(ls *.flac) -a <(ls *.mp3) --xapply copytags {1} {2} then copies each FLAC file's metadata to the corresponding MP3 file (which ffmpeg already does, just to illustrate the --xapply option).
Download FreeFileSync 14.3. FreeFileSync is a free open source data backup software that helps you synchronize files and folders on Windows, Linux and macOS.
Protect yourself from data loss – Déjà Dup is a simple backup tool. It hides the complexity of backing up the Right Way (encrypted, off-site, and regular) and uses Restic & Duplicity behind the scenes.
Support for local, remote...
ffmpeg - www.deb-multimedia.org . I edit podcast videos for distribution to subscribers. High-quality video produces very large files but if they're only going to be watched on laptops, tablets, and phones, I can throw away a lot of bits without noticeably affecting quality on a phone screen.
And nothing does that better or faster than ffmpeg.
gnome-network-displays let's you cast your screen to a wireless display (Miracast) or to a Chromecast device.
It works with KDE no problem and even under Wayland.
It creates a virtual display that can be organized like any other display: unify with another screen or extend the desktop using your DE's default method/UI. And then it uses standard screen sharing conventions to send content to that virtual display.
I don't know what kind of dark arts the developer(s) employed to make this possible, but the end result is simple wireless display in Linux that just works! A MUST for using Linux in a business setting.
GNU Stow, definitely. I can't stress enough how wonderful this app has been for my sanity. I use it to manage my dotfiles and personal data.
I made one dotfiles folder, which contains home, etc and usr subfolders. I put all my configs in it (dotfiles, themes, custom keyboard layouts, etc) in the relevant subfolders, then with Stow I symlink dotfiles/home to /home/username, dotfiles/etc to /etc and dotfiles/usr to /usr, and poof symlinks are created for everything in it. That way all my configs are in one folder, I can sync it to my NAS easily, make it a git repo for version control, and even upload it to github. It's amazing 🥰 I also made a personal folder which contains Documents, Pictures, Videos, etc, all symlinked to /home/username/Documents and such, so I only have one folder to back up for my personal data. Yes I'm very lazy and hate doing backups 😅
Rofi (or here for the X11 version) : It's the best app launcher by miles, even if I used a DE I'd still use rofi. But I also use it for a lot of other stuff that it's much less well known for: the run mode for launching scripts and other executables, the ssh mode for ssh, rofi-calc for a very light and fast calculator that understand natural language, rofi-games as a games launcher, rofi-emoji as emoji selector... Rofi is life, rofi is love, rofi is God.
Libation to liberate audiobooks from Audible. There's tons of apps to download and un-DRM your files from various platforms, but most only work on Windows. This one does work on linux 🥳
Lots of self-hosted apps for my media server, but they are all pretty well known (Jellyfin, Audiobookshelf, Komga) except maybe Suwayomi Server for manga (it can sync progress to AniList, and there are plugins to enable downloading from online manga reading sites)
ani-cli for watching anime because I'm a crazy person who grew up with MS-DOS and TUI apps make me happy. Also it's often more convenient than having to check ten different websites to find the one anime you want to watch only to discover that half of them have been taken down.
yt-dlp to download videos from YouTube. I use wrapper scripts to make it more convenient to use because I'm lazy, but it's great.
No I wasn't aware of it but it looks interesting! It seems to have a lot more features than GNU Stow. It says it requires a GitHub repo though, so it wouldn't do for personal data, but for configs it looks interesting!
It doesn't require a github repo, you can use any personal git repository. I personally have set it up with a selfhosted gitea instance. I also assume you could setup a git repo on the device.
If you don't want to bother with a CLI app and specific syntax to follow, there's rofi-calc, it's super fast to load since it's just rofi and it understands natural language. When I stumbled upon it I found the idea of a calculator that understands you when you type "30 feet in mm" or "10 usd in euros" completely mindblowing. Props to qalc for making it possible
I mean the syntax for gnu units is literally the same unit expression used in math. m^2, cm, m/s etc. the ft;in looks weird because it's two units combined.
Your example in it would be units 30ft mm , use -t for terse results that's just the final value.
It's definitely usable if you know the right abbreviations to use, and it seems a lot more concise which much be convenient if you're used to the syntax! But I find natural language also has a lot of advantages, especially for converting units you don't see often and have no clue how to abbreviate, like when watching videos that give you measurements in weird units. Plus my brain tends to freeze when something looks like maths, so natural language is easier to use for me (even though I know it's THE EXACT SAME calculation 😅 ).
Again, you can type feet instead of ft and it'll work. You can write 'feet per second' instead of 'ft/s' and it'll work. Natural language has its benefits but when you have a very simple syntax model then there's less chances of it making a mistake.
I don't know if it has been already mentioned but I love bat a lot. It's like the cat command but with colors and line numbers. Makes things a little bit easier.
It's software for budgeting. You can run it entirely local, or set it up as a server. It stores everything in an SQLite dB, let's you import and export CSV files, and it gives you great options for querying and seeing reports on your financial records.
I've got a handful of accounts, so I set up a small python utility to parse the CSVs my banks give me to something actually sensible and readable for Actual. I do that once a month, add a reconciliation entry here and there, and it's all kept on sync very well.
I have one morbid report titled "money pissed down the landlord drain", and it's far higher than I'd like to be. But it's got close to every penny I've ever spent on that bullshit in one place.
I’ve been receiving numerous similar messages from family and friends. I don’t believe that being victims of indiscriminate bombing themselves will make Israelis acknowledge that #IDF’s ongoing revenge war against the civilian population of #Gaza, since October 2023, is far more severe, while equally wrong. With more than 82% of Israelis supporting expulsion, and about 50% justifying the killing of all civilians (over 55,000 at least so far) geopoliticaleconomy.com/2025/0… it will only further fuel the cycle of bloodthirsty revenge.
"Otorite ve yasanın en saçma savunması, suçu azaltmaya hizmet ettikleridir. Devletin kendisi en büyük suçlu olmasına rağmen yazılı ve doğal tüm yasaları çiğneyerek, vergiler yoluyla hirsızlik yaparak, savaş ve idam yoluyla öldürerek Suça karşı mücadelede tamamen çıkmaza girmiştir. Kendi yarattığıi bu korkunç belayı yok etmekte ya da en azindan azaltmakta bütüyle başarısız olmuştur."
